/bazaar (or /lb) opens a market that is always willing to trade.
It is not a fixed price list. Every item has a stock level, and the price follows
the stock: sell iron in bulk and iron gets cheaper, for everyone, until it recovers.
How the price moves
| Cheapest an item can get | 30% of base |
| Dearest an item can get | 400% of base |
| Stock recovery | 4% every 5 minutes |
| Buy/sell spread | 20% |
That recovery rate is the important one. A flooded market is not ruined — it drifts back toward baseline over a few hours. If you crash the price of something, waiting is a strategy.
The 20% spread means the Bazaar always buys lower than it sells, so you cannot buy an item and immediately sell it back for a profit. That holds no matter what bonuses you have stacked from paths or standing — it is enforced per unit, after every multiplier.
Demand events
Now and then demand spikes on a category — prices there jump between 1.25× and 2×, for twenty minutes to an hour. Anything at 1.5× or above is announced in chat. If you are sitting on stock and an event fires on your category, that is the moment to sell.
Worth knowing
